Book page layout summary
Page and page Layout page
The book pages are the smallest unit of printing at the time of binding, and the planning pages of the pages are printed with blue specification papers. Before discussing the planning page, there are a few terms that need to be raised.
Take a look at the illustrations on the planning page. You can find several sizes. The largest size is the uncut paper size. This size represents all the paper area given to each page on the printed sheet. The second size is within the page size of the uncut book, which is the size of the cut page. This will be the size of the last page where the book will appear.
Within our cut size, you can see another very clear range, called the "Type page".
Other terms used for the plan page, such as "head", "foot", etc., can be known literally. "Margins" are pages that enclose "layout" without printing. The area is then divided into "Tianbian", "Tianbian", "outside", "inside" and "folded edge" or "binding edge" according to different places.
In many cases, page numbers (also known as folio) are included in the layout, others are not. The other kind of situation is the same as the "head" of each page. It is a line that represents the title, chapter name, or text of the page. These are called "running heads." If the above two are outside the layout, they should be clearly stated on the plan page.
The information on the planning page is related to the book itself, but the pages are not printed on their own. They must be printed with many other pages. Therefore, the information we need involves the relationship between several pages. In the illustration, the layout of a page is with three adjacent pages. You may wonder why the arrangement of pages is "foot-to-foot" and "head-to-day." If you want to know the reason for this irregular relationship, you should do a simple experiment. Take a sheet of paper and draw four pages on top of it, pointing out their heavens and earths; the right-angled folds are folded in two, and stapled at the center. If your pages are sky-to-sky then your little book has A very proper order; assuming heaven and earth are folded, half of the pages will be reversed.
In discussing the arrangement of pages on a printed sheet, it is not just the relationship between heaven and earth. If you see our legend, you will notice a new term: "Gutter." You can see that there are four different gaps in the graph: 1 binding gaps, 2 days and day gaps, 3 outer gaps, and 4 ground gaps.
The gap between the sides means "the entire gap between the two layouts. This gap is the edge and the margin between the two pages." The gap between the edges is very important in the typesetting plan.
The discussion on the planning page cannot but mention the case of "Bleeding pages". The word "bleed" indicates that the pages of the page are printed without side, sides, or all sides. You can remember that the "edge" is Is the unprinted part of the layout outside the paper? There are often designs designed to allow one or several colors to be printed on the edge of the page. To achieve this effect, an impression that is larger than the actual size of the page should be printed so that the excess portion can be cut when cutting in the future. Drop it. The printing area must not be larger than the printing paper, otherwise the ink (printed on the paper) will accumulate on the pressure roller, so it is necessary to make "bleeding" printing so that it can be cut to the printing place. A page can be on one side, two sides, three sides, or four sides; so the "bleeding" instructions are usually sent on the planning page.
Typographic design
Typographic design is a graphic that indicates how the number of page numbers given is arranged in order to accommodate folding. Typographic images do not indicate jobs that can be folded with a specific number of pages. In this section we discuss a number of items including the size of the sheets, the paper printed on them, the page size of the prints, and the applicable folding equipment. All of these are before deciding on a typesetting design that is suitable for hands-on work. Must be taken into account. Typographic design cannot be chosen by an inexperienced person. These calculations require a person who has complete printing and binding production experience.
Typographic design can provide the following five points: 1 the number of pages that can be printed on a sheet, the arrangement of 2 pages, the control of 3 sheets, 4 folding, and 5 folding that can be produced by the Signature ) The kind of.
Number of pages printed on printed sheets
The number of pages printed on the printed pages is based on the content of the work, which is usually not less than four pages but not more than 128 pages. The standard typesetting press sheets contain 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 36, 40, 48, 64, 72, 80 and 128 pages, etc. This does not mean that the number not listed on this page cannot be used for typesetting. In many cases, special typesetting can be done by the binder and the printer.
Arrangement of pages
The first point to be decided is that the arrangement of pages of a typesetting method should be the same as that of the printed pages or the layout of pages printed on the plates.
All two-sided layouts have two layouts, one inside and the other outside. The layout method of "transverse type" and "flip type" is the same for both sides of the printed version of the paper, so the layout diagram only needs one sheet.
Stamp control
The position of the printing paper for printing and binding the paper is the mechanical positioning of the two sides of the printing paper against the printer. For this purpose, "the paper and the printer must be prepared for the printing of the pages and the locks. And the origami's paper claws and edges are exactly the same." The control of the printing paper is particularly important when the printed paper must be cut or cut before it is folded. The typesetting combination includes the positioning of the edge position and the indication of the edge of the paper claw, as well as cutting and crimping. Instructions.
Folding produces the type and number of Signatures
The "stack" is a small part of a book, and the page is a unit of the sheet, so the "stack" is a unit of the staple. With folding, the printed sheet can be turned into a stack of pages or several stacks of pages, and the typesetting combination will indicate the type and number of folded stacks.
If the plan pages are bound together in a continuous manner, they are called "to follow"; if they are to be inserted, they are added to insent. The general bookbinding stack contains several units called "up". These terms do not rely on any method, and they can satisfy us to explain the general book stack representation.
Here's an example to help you understand these terms better: On a typesetting paper, there are words for 64 pages, four, "16 pages", and 64-page quad 16 'S to insert. The paper is printed with 64 pages and folded into four 16-page stacks; the two pages are stacked together to form two 32-page large pages stacked with origami output.
Relationship between paper and folding
The last point in the coordination plan that we need from printing to binding should take into account the role of “paperâ€. It is important to remember that if we want to choose the best typesetting method, we should better understand the role of "paper" and the best typesetting method. We should better understand the size and thickness of a large sheet of printed material and the permitted size of the book's trim. Within, fold up the pages of the most pages with a minimum of pages.
The relationship between the paper typesetting method is divided into the following five points: (1) paper size, (2) fiber direction, (3) weight (also thickness), (4) squareness, (5) Shingling.
Paper size
Most small-to-medium quantities of paper used for printing are purchased from paper stocked with various types of paper. Most papers come in several standard sizes, but they are not always fully compatible with the size of the print. The plan of the prints also needs to select the general applicable book size to match the standard size of the paper. However, for long-run printing, this consideration can be changed. We can order the paper mill for our specific purpose. Paper. (to be continued)
